[新聞] Yankees 小內訌(Giambi on A-rod)

[epipole (pole)]

"[Mike] Mussina doesn't get hammered at all. He's making a boatload of money.
Giambi's making [$20.4 million], which is fine and dandy, but it seems those
guys get a pass. When people write [bad things] about me, I don't know if
it's [because] I'm good-looking, I'm biracial, I make the most money, I play
on the most popular team ..."
-- Alex Rodriguez in this week's SI

"Mussina 完全沒有被譴責(當他表現不好的時候). 他和Giambi同樣賺最高待遇的巨額
的薪水, 但似乎他們總是不會被譴責(當表現不好時). 當人們(惡意)批評我時, 我不知
到是否是因為我比較帥,我是混血兒,我薪水最高,我替最知名的球隊打球 ..."

Giambi, Torre get tough with A-Rod

ESPN.com news services

The Yankees' magic number to clinch the AL East is 1. Fitting, because the
defending AL MVP seems to be all alone in the Bronx Bombers' clubhouse.

In a story in this week's Sports Illustrated, Alex Rodriguez is portrayed as
a loner on the AL's best team, whose struggles prompted Jason Giambi to urge
manager Joe Torre to get tough with Rodriguez. Rodriguez's current statistics
are gaudy -- .286, 34 home runs and 116 RBI -- but the slugging third baseman
has been perceived by the fans and media as unable to get the big hit when
the Yankees need it.

Giambi is quoted in the article as saying Rodriguez has a "false confidence"
and that Torre should "stop coddling him."

In an exchange between Giambi and Rodriguez recounted in the magazine, the
Yankees' first baseman challenged the slumping third baseman to step up his
play.

Before approaching Torre, Giambi said he talked to Rodriguez while the
Yankees were playing in Boston.

"We're all rooting for you and we're behind you 100 percent, but you've got
to get the big hit," was his message to A-Rod, Giambi told SI.

"What do you mean?" was Rodriguez's response, Giambi told SI. "I've had five
hits in Boston."

"You [expletive] call those hits?" Giambi said, according to SI. "You had two
[expletive] dinkers to right field and a ball that bounced over the third
baseman! Look at how many pitches you missed!

"When you hit three, four or five [in the order], you have to get the big
hits, especially if they're going to walk Bobby [Abreu] and me. I'll help you
out until you get going. I'll look to drive in runs when they pitch around
me, go after that 3-and-1 pitch that might be a ball. But if they're going to
walk Bobby and me, you're going to have to be the guy."

Rodriguez told the magazine that he didn't recall the exchange, but said "I'm
sure we had a conversation."

Torre then had a closed-door meeting with Rodriguez in Seattle.

Also, in trying to defend himself against fan and media criticism, Rodriguez
brought other players' names into the conversation, which could threaten to
fracture the Yankees' clubhouse.

"[Mike] Mussina doesn't get hammered at all," he told SI. "He's making a
boatload of money. Giambi's making [$20.4 million], which is fine and dandy,
but it seems those guys get a pass. When people write [bad things] about me,
I don't know if it's [because] I'm good-looking, I'm biracial, I make the
most money, I play on the most popular team ..."

Before Tuesday night's game in Toronto, Rodriguez, Giambi and Torre were
asked about the SI article that portrayed the team as being critical with the
way Rodriguez handled his struggles this year.

Giambi and Rodriguez both downplayed the negatives on Tuesday.

"I found an enormous amount of support from my teammates," Rodriguez claimed.

Torre acknowledged meeting with Rodriguez in Seattle in August and telling
him to change his demeanor.

"The tone I took to Alex is basically being honest with himself. And what I
meant by that was, he had a tough series in Boston ... and I like to watch
body language, he was making it appear like it was OK," Torre said.
